Every end of the year is a time of transition for students. In a year disrupted by COVID-19, this transition can be even more difficult. Meaningful end-of-year rituals are essential for helping students feel a sense of connection, celebration, remembrance and closure this year.
The You Did It! End-of-Year Certificate for Students provides an easy way for you to add meaning to the traditional giving of certificates by sharing something specific about each student’s presence during the school year. The certificate guides you to share a way each student contributed to the group, or a unique interest or quality the student brought to the classroom. The PDF certificate is form-enabled, so you can type directly in the certificate or print it out and complete it by hand.
